population will be living in urban areas. Urbanisation is characterised by land-use changes …

Urban ecological studies, including focus on cities, suburbs, and exurbs, while having deep
roots in the early to mid 20th century, have burgeoned in the last several decades. We use …

With increasing urbanization the importance of cities for biodiversity conservation grows.
This paper reviews the ways in which biodiversity is affected by urbanization and discusses …

The global decline in biodiversity as a result of urbanization remains poorly understood.

There is an urgent need to thoroughly review and comprehend the effects of urbanization on
wildlife in order to understand both the ecological implications of increasing urbanization …

Urbanization is increasing across the globe and there is growing interest in urban ecology
and a recognition that developed areas may be important for conservation. We review the …

Urbanization leads to the biotic homogenization of global avifauna. We hypothesized that

The extent to which resource subsidies affect food web dynamics is poorly understood in
anthropogenic landscapes. To better understand how species interactions are influenced by …

Habitat structure and complexity are two main components determining bird community
diversity. Although a wide array of components contribute to the physiognomy of urban …
